“…These expectations become especially problematic in the context of paediatric healthcare, as the parent is often responsible for making care decisions and advocating for their child's needs (Khandan et al., 2018). Prioritising clear communication and respectful collaboration between the mother, healthcare provider, and child with chronic disease has the potential to improve health outcomes and care process efficiency for all involved (Tınmaz & Altundağ, 2022). Paloma also noted that the hospital she visited has an institutional policy to engage parents as much as possible in their child's care.…”

AimTo explore the lived experience of advanced preparation nurses (APNs) who are mothers (APN‐mothers) as they seek care in the Emergency Department for a child with a chronic disease.DesignQualitative, Narrative Inquiry.MethodsNarrative Inquiry was used to examine critical self‐reflections of four (n = 4) APN‐mothers. Directed by a question guide, participants engaged in the Narrative Reflective Process through metaphoric and artistic means.ResultsParticipants identified salient challenges associated with their experiences. Narrative threads that emerged include feelings around being discovered, unfair expectations by healthcare providers, feelings of guilt and the tension from competing roles: APN and mother.ConclusionAPN‐mothers represent a unique population with enhanced knowledge, skills and judgement; however, they indicate that there is insufficient communication and interprofessional collaboration between parents and Emergency Department staff. Further research is needed to foster and improve therapeutic relationships between APN‐mothers and healthcare providers.Implications for the Profession and/or Patient CareFindings can inform the development of family centred care guidelines for healthcare professional parents and their children.ImpactThis study explores the experiences of an understudied population. This research will impact APN‐mothers, healthcare professionals in the Emergency Department as well as nursing students and researchers.Reporting MethodEQUATOR guidelines and SRQR reporting method used.Patient or Public ContributionAPN‐mothers, caregivers and support persons of children with chronic disease enacted investigator‐participant roles and were involved in each step of the study process. In addition, some patients (participants' children with chronic diseases) were included in data collected.

Aims. To synthesize the evidence on nurses’ experiences of their caring role during the COVID‐19 pandemic and identify emerging concepts that have affected nurses within the caring role in relation to (a) their professional lives and (b) their personal lives. Background. The concept of caring is central to the science and art of nursing practice, and fulfilment of the caring role is fundamental to the profession. The COVID‐19 pandemic imposed unprecedented change globally transforming the caring role of the nurse. The WHO highlights that a well‐supported workforce is paramount to emergency preparedness; therefore, understanding the experiences of the nurse’s caring role during the COVID‐19 crisis is paramount to practice in future healthcare crises. Methods. A scoping review. Data Sources. Studies published between January 2020 and November 2023 were identified from the following databases: Cumulative Index to Nursing and Allied Health Literature (CINAHL), Coronavirus Database, PUBMED, PsycINFO, PsycArticles, Scopus, Web of Science, and SocINDEX. Reporting Method. The scoping review adhered to the Joanna Briggs Institute (JBI) Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta‐Analysis Extension for Scoping Review (PRISMA‐ScR) checklist. Results. The search identified 1,347 studies, subsequent review of title and abstract, resulted in 117 full‐text papers for further eligibility screening, with a total of 52 studies being included in the scoping review. Findings were grouped thematically using the Braun and Clarke (2006) approach. The five distinctive themes that emerged were (a) emotional turmoil, (b) erosion of care, (c) relationships and solidarity, (d) expansion of role, and (e) professional growth. Conclusion. During the COVID‐19 pandemic, there was an evolutionary shift in the caring role of the nurse, on a trajectory from emotional turmoil to professional growth. The process followed a theoretical framework of transformative learning that could support nurses’ capability and preparedness in their caring role for future inevitable extreme events and crisis in healthcare. Implications for Nursing Management. Mapping current knowledge of the unprecedented COVID‐19 crisis from a nurse’s professional and personal perspective purposefully aims to highlight gaps for future research, education, and policy and is paramount to emergency preparedness and a well‐supported workforce in future healthcare crisis.

Nurses on the front line of facing the COVID-19 pandemic have applied many coping strategies to adapt to their experienced physical and psychosocial challenges. This review aimed to identify coping strategies of nurses in the face of Covid-19. In this meta-synthesis review, qualitative articles related to the coping strategies published in English in the Google Scholar, PubMed, Web of Science, ScienceDirect, and CINAHL databases were selected and analyzed. The review of selected articles showed nurses have used various coping strategies that can be categorized into one main theme, two themes, and ten sub-themes. The theme of efficient coping strategies includes the sub-themes of spiritual-religious coping, protective coping (protection of family members and colleagues), supportive coping by obtaining support from family, friends, colleagues, society, and government organizations, committed coping, positive mind coping, emotional coping, operational coping, and fun coping. The theme of inefficient coping strategies includes the sub-themes of avoidance and risky behaviors. The strategies lead to the synthesis of bipolar coping strategies of nurses during the COVID-19 pandemic. Therefore, healthcare policymakers should emphasize using efficient strategies and avoiding inefficient ones.
